Farm Tour

Hello!

Friday 12 of us from the park went on a farm tour. I have posted a few pictures for you. Most of the crops were still being planted or the fields were too muddy for the big bus to get to. We went to a "greenhouse farm", very interesting and the best part was that I got 2 boxes (100 pounds) of big tomatoes!! I will be canning tomato soup as soon as they are fully ripe.

We also went to a boot factory. It was interesting also, but sad to see the young kids working there. We were taken to a back street to look at cock fighting roosters. There were many roosters and a few hens with chicks in pens. The owner said he sells the roosters for $200 each....they put razor sharp knives on the legs and turn them loose in a round covered pen, like a small grain bin. We did not see them fight, a relief to some.....

Our guide was very informative and we learned alot from him. We all had a good time. Kay
